Ch.6- Shoping & Car accidents
A/N: after like a thousand accidents which includes getting my elbow sprained playing badminton-I know don't laugh-then my ankle broken by walking down the stairs, and finally my computer braking down I finally managed to finish this… I'm sorry is so short but I rather update a short one than taking more time…
*THE DRESSES ARE ON MY PROFILE (except Alice I had trouble with it)
*BTW I NEED A BETA… ANYONE?

Previously: She hummed against my lips and we walked out of the building. "so now that you are out early, what do you want to do?"
BPOV:
We decided that since it was only 10:40 so it was too early to grab lunch and we were both exhausted, we went back to his dorm for a quick nap before going to lunch. "So how cool is it that you get to sleep alone in a room… I'm so jealous…" I said pouting up at him as he opened the door for his room. "yeah pretty cool I mean I get to bring all the ladies with no one bothering me" he said chuckling as I hit him in the arm with mock-horror on my face "hey! Ow- I was just kidding… but seriously this way I can bring you here whenever I feel like it and there's no one to bother me… pretty awesome…don't you think?" he whispered the last part on my ear as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him while he kicked the door shut. I giggled stupidly and leaned up to whisper sexily back "yeah… pretty awesome" then I kissed him quickly, untangled myself from his grasp and run to his bedroom launching myself on his bed still giggling at his flabbergasted expression. I heard him yell 'tease!' from the living room but I didn't care I just laughed it off while I took my shoes off and made myself comfortable on his bed. He walked in a couple minutes later with a bottle of water in his hands and no shoes… he was so messy leaving everything just lying around. He got closer and crawled on the bed next to me; he lay on his back leaving the water bottle on his nightstand and grabbed me by the waist to pull me closer to him.
I sighed in contentment and closed my eyes drifting quickly into a peaceful slumber. I woke up with a huge smile on my face, because let me tell you there is nothing more amazing than resting surrounded by nothing but Edward, all I could smell was him, on the pillows the sheets and himself… all I could hear was his deep peaceful breathing, and all I could feel were his strong arms around me and my legs tangled with his. My cheek was pressed against his chest listening to the beautiful rhythm of his heartbeats, and the sound made me sigh, suddenly it picked up so I opened my eyes and lifted my head to see what the cause for that was. He was just starring at me lovingly, and it made my interiors to turn to jelly, god I love this man!
"Hey…" he said as a smile spread through his lips, "hey…why's your heart racing?" I asked him as I put my chin on his chest and the hand that was on his stomach over his heart… I could feel the chuckle that followed beneath me, "I don't know, is just something that happens every time I look at you…" the smile on my face could have broken the limits ever permitted to smile, but it would be worth it because no words could ever explain the happiness that comes from knowing that the one you love loves you back just the same… or at least I think he does love me, we are just not in that place yet. His arms tightened around me and I pulled myself up to kiss him, breath be damned, I just need my man. He kissed me back very PG 13 but the passion contained in it should be censored from even my mind, it was something just so explicit, so obvious, so very raw, and I loved it. "I'm glad you feel it to, because it's like my heart goes into haywire every time you so much as look at me…" I said timidly looking at his chest. I felt his heart racing under my palm and realize it was the same speed as mine, he moved and placed a hand on my cheek until I had to look up, the loving emeralds spoke the words his mouth couldn't pronounce, and the kiss burned me to the very core.

"Emmet! You're such a dork!" I managed to say in between laughs. We were at a sushi restaurant and Emmet was wearing his chopsticks as fangs and he was imitating walrus' sounds and it was hysterical! we got together to plan Alice's birthday that was a couple of weeks from now, on September 12th, luckily only Rose knew my birthday was the day after that so I was of the hook. I hated birthdays- I just never had a good birthday, especially after my dad died on that date, my mum was never really on the mood to celebrate.
"Oh! I know! We should totally have a costume party or something!" Alice squeaked suddenly extremely exited while we all laughed at Emmet's stupidity. "Yeah that would be so cool… but wait! I have an even better idea! We should do it a formal party and for Halloween do a massive costume ball!" Rose said with such conviction it was scary- I mean it was that voice that said 'don't you dare contradict me bitch' but much exited. Around the table there were murmurs of agreement and of course the distinct squeal of Alice.
It has been almost a month since classes started and Edward and I were officially a couple, Emmet and Rosalie were still dating, and though they were exclusive they haven't put a title on it yet. As for Alice and Jasper, they are both still single, and even though in a beginning they both seemed very close they seem to be growing apart from each other, I mean on the beginning I was sure they'd end up together now they just seem friends, it's kindda sad I was looking forward to seeing them together.
I was lost in my own world when something hit me "wait! Did you just say formal?! As in high heels and long dresses and make up and stuff?" I asked in disbelief-I've come to learn that even though Alice has granted me that I dress myself 'rather nicely' I still had to submit to her torture whenever the occasion deserved it. And I'd bet my ass that this was one of those occasions. A smirk grew on Alice's face and a knowing look on her eyes "why yes Bella…scared?" she knew I couldn't stand it when someone taunted me, that's how she got me to do most of things, and I still haven't learned. My inner-rational Bella shook her head looking down with a resigned look on her face, while my inner-hormonal Bella flipped her off and told her to fuck off 'cause someone is daring our manhood or whatever. "No I'm not scared! But I'm not under any circumstances wearing heels." I said firmly while I crossed my arms over my chest. From my peripheral sight I could see Edward next to me with an amused look on his face and trying to hold back his laughter. He always got a kick out of seeing me get all worked up over Alice, and the worse thing is that he knew she always won, so he just waited and see till either I gave up or Alice put her foot down.
"Oh come on Bella, you know how beautiful you look in heels! Plus I'll put you in low heels I swear!" she pouted, she fucking pouted, she knew I couldn't resist that shit. "Oh you mean low like those 6 fucking inch death traps I had to wear the other night?!" I all but screamed, and now Edward was laughing, I turned my head slowly to the side and gave him the death glare, it took about 0.3 seconds for him to sober up. "Sorry" he mouthed, and I returned my glare to Alice. "Oh come on Bella you looked a-ma-zing, and you only fell like what, 3 times?" she said flipping her hand dismissively. "ONLY 3 TIMES?! Alice I almost broke my foot!" "oh enough!" interrupted Rose "Bella you, me and everybody here knows you'll end up wearing them anyway, so how about we end up this discussion now, and order some dessert?" she begged with a smile, I huffed and muttered a 'fine'. Edward kissed the side of my head and I smiled at him adoringly, I still couldn't understand how he handled my mood swings. I leaned to his side and he put an arm around my shoulders and rubbed my arm while I rested my head on his shoulder.
The conversation after that flowed easily making decisions and commenting about the party, I refrained from making any comments and just enjoyed dessert and the company of the man next to me and the friends surrounding me. They really have become my family in this short time, and that made me incredibly happy.

It was Wednesday September 9th-4 days till the party on Saturday- and Alice already had everything ready, she rented a beautiful restaurant in the city and had all the decorations and preparations ready, she even send the invitations, since it was such an exclusive party. So the only thing left was shopping for our outfits-fuck. Alice of course already bought hers, so she was just supervising today. Her dress was beautiful, is was strapless marble white with a heart-shaped cleavage, that reached the floor, it was tight and on her hips it flowed easily to the floor. The cleavage was bejeweled so she only bought diamond earrings and matching bracelet and silver stilettos. The whole attire was perfect so now we had to find ours-great.
I asked Alice if at least I could pick my own dress, and she agreed with the exception that she had veto power, so on we went to my favorite store-BCBGMAXAZRIA- he's just my favorite designer of all times, and of course he didn't disappoint. I found this gorgeous poppy-colored, strappy, just above the knee dress. "do you approve?" I asked in a condescending tone to Alice, she just rolled her eyes, but the second her sight actually landed on the dress, she almost pounced on me "YES! Ohmygod! Bella is gorgeous go try it on!" she squeaked pushing me towards the changing room. "Okay Alice I'm going, but let me just tell you I actually learned to walk about 18 years ago so there's no need to push… damn girl…"
I twirled a couple of times in front of the mirror to see the dress from all angles, and it was in fact beautiful and it flowed freely, I love how it looks when I twirl. I took my time to appreciate it and to piss Alice off. Any second now… "Bella come on! How long can it take you to put a dress on?!" and there it is… my payback for her dragging me here, sigh. "coming Alice!" I said to her in a very chirpy singsong voice, just to annoy her further, god is fun to mess with her.
"Wow" whispered Rose, and honestly that's all I've heard from her this whole trip, with Alice talking endlessly and all, "Bella you look amazing you have to take that!" Alice chirped happily once she saw me. I sighed because I knew the price already, and though I had the money I hate to spend that much money in such frivolous things… and so the battle between down to earth Bella and hormonal fashionista Bella began…
but the dress is gorgeous…
…and it fits like a glove…sigh
We'll just buy cheap shoes…!
pff! Yeah right…
yeah, you're right, there's no such thing as cheap shoes…
not for the pretty ones at least….
Damn! Okay FINE! I'll buy it… gosh!
Yeah like your suffering right now… boohoo cry me a river honey…
You don't have to be so mean you know?
"Bella sweetie are you okay?" Alice asked concerned waving a hand in front of my face, "yeah don't worry Al, it's just something she does when she has to make a decision, she just spaces out…" answered Rose laughing for me.
"yeah, fine, thanks Alice… hey Rose did you find something you liked?" I asked shaking my head to clear it.
"yeah I did, but non was the perfect dress so I was thinking maybe we could keep looking?"
"yeah sure of course let me just pay for this and then we'll go… we need to find shoes too…"
After I paid for my pretty pretty dress we went off to search the perfect dress for Rose, we pass through Gucci, Chanel, Jimmy Choo-where I found my perfect shoes, they had a leopard print that gave my attire a fun vibe, but of course they were 4 ½ inches, still they went perfectly with the dress, so I bought them-despite the price-damn. And finally Roberto Cavalli.
"This is it!" Rose said clapping and bouncing in place, that only meant one thing, she was EXTREMELY exited. "Rose is beautiful! Go try it on!" I encouraged, suddenly I realized Alice was quite…too quite I looked around the store while Rose tried her dress on, alas! she was on the shoe section, and might I add practically drooling over a gorgeous pair of boots. "Alice you either back off or they'll make you pay them, you're drooling all over them, you'll ruin them" I told her giggling, she fake-glared at me and then straightened up and sighed "they are beautiful" she said in a dreamy voice "so buy them… they'd look amazing with you leather skirt" I encouraged, "oh I will… I decided that the second I saw them… hey, where's Rose?"
"oh she's trying on a dress she found… you know the one we came in here for?" she just looked confused, and I laughed because sometimes she can be so out of it, especially when she sees something that captures her attention, like those poor boots… they never had a chance.
I heard a throat clearing and recognize immediately Rose's annoyance so I turned around and was shocked to see her in the dress, she looked like a mixture between a greek goddess and a mermaid. The dress was a petrol green and it fitted her perfectly, it was tight until about the knees and then it flowed to the floor, she looked amazing. "Wow Rose…just wow" I told her in shock, Alice being Alice just shrieked and lounged herself towards Rosalie to envelope her in a hug, "I don't even care that you'll look prettier than me on my party! You have to get this you look incredible!" she said in one breath, Rosalie just smiled and rolled her eyes. We paid for our things and went to get lunch, on the way Rose found a pair of gorgeous granite stilettos that went perfect with her dress so she got them, and off we went to eat something.
"Honey are you alright? You seem extremely quiet…" Rose asked me, we were in Alice's Porsche- her condition- and she looked back at me through the rearview mirror, "yeah sis fine… it's just that I feel kinda guilty you know? I spent a lot of money today… I hate to spend on unnecessary things…" I sighed, I heard Alice draw in a sharp breath and control her breathing, she has come to learn that though I love clothes as much as her, I not obsessed like she is, so she should not yell at me when I say comments like that. "But sweetie, why don't you look at this as your birthday present? I bet you weren't planning on getting yourself anything, so consider this your gift, that way it doesn't seem like unnecessary spending, but is pampering yourself for your birthday…" I nodded in agreement, it did sound better. It must have passed a whole 3 seconds before I heard it- the distinct squeal that means Alice is exited- and it hit me-my sister screwed up-fuck!
"OHMEGOD!!! BELLA IS YOUR BIRTHDAY COMING SOON?!" she squealed looking directly at me through the rearview mirror which kinda freak me out since she wasn't looking at the road ahead of her, and to top it of she drives extremely fast, I held on tightly to the safety belt and sighed in resignation, "yeah Alice is coming soon… thanks Rosalie" I mumbled, she smiled timidly at me and mouthed a 'sorry'. Alice suddenly turned around and with an exited look asked me "so…? when is it!" she chirped "Alice for fuck's sakes could you keep your eyes on the road!!" I yelled terrified, she just rolled her eyes and turned around just as we reached a red light, she slowed the car and turned back around "So… I'm not asking again…" I huffed and mumbled "isonthethirteen" she rolled her eyes again and I heard Rose chuckling, I glared at her and it just turned to full on laughter "can you pronounce each word honey? I have good hearing but I'm no superman you know?" I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time and practically yelled "is on the thirteenth damn it!" before covering my ears and squinting my eyes ready for what was coming.
The shriek was so ear-piercing I think only dogs could hear it, I saw the people in the other cars and on the sidewalk staring shocked towards our car like we just slaughtered someone in front of them. "ON THE 13TH!! OMG THAT'S ONE DAY AFTER MEEEEE!!" Rose was laughing so hard now I was worried she wouldn't be able to breath, then I remember what she just did to me and thought to hell with her health "Yes Alice I'm aware of that" I was getting tired if Rose's laughter so I just punched her on the arm, "Ow! That better not leave a bruise bitch!" she complained I just stuck my tongue out to her, I know real mature, but what do you want I'm pissed, not even Edward knows when my birthday is, I just like to keep to myself so I don't get disappointed, I'm always disappointed in my birthday so I just prefer to skip it and don't acknowledge it.
We were about to arrive to Paolo's a latin restaurant when I got a message from Edward, just watching his name flash on the screen makes me smile…
Having fun? –E
Ha ha, not funny, come rescue me please! I'll pay you! –B
And how do you intend on paying me miss swan?-E
Oh, I can think of a few ways… just come and get me and I'll show you… ;)-B
You win… where are you?-E
Heading to Paolo's meet me there in 10 xoxo –B
I sighed in contentment when I received his confirmation and stashed my cell phone on my purse, and prepared to break the news to the girls… they are not going to be happy…
"Hey Rose… Ali?"
"Yeah?" they both answered at the same time
"Umm… I was thinking that maybe I could go to lunch with Edward? I haven't seen him all day… and well he just texted me and-" "Honey relax!" said Rose chuckling "go see your man… you deserve it!" "Yeah sweetie go out and have lunch with him… we'll see you tonight for movie night at Jasper's and Em's right?" ooookay… that was unbelievably weird, they'd never agree that easy… hmm… something's wrong, but hey! I'm not complaining, I get to spend the afternoon with Edward after all. "Yeah, okay thanks guys… I'll meet him at Paolo's in 5…" I was still treading lightly… there must be a catch… maybe I shouldn't be so distrustful of my best friend and sister, they are being very nice to me… oh well.
A/N: Okay I know it was very short but I'll start the next one now… I just rather give you a little than nothing at all… thanks for waiting! I love you guys so much : ) the next is on EPOV'S *insert drool*
Xoxo-Emma
